Welcome to Pod! This guided tour will help you understand each part of the platform so you can confidently build, launch, and manage AI phone agents. Each section links to a detailed guide with step-by-step instructions.
Your journey starts with creating your first agent. Agents are the core of Pod — they handle your calls, answer questions, and take action.
Agent Setup → Learn the fundamentals of creating an agent, setting its purpose, and understanding how Pod organizes your agents.
Inbound Agent Setup → Perfect if you want an agent to answer calls from customers, provide support, or route people to your team. Includes quickstart prompts.
Outbound Agent Setup → Ideal if you want your agent to proactively reach out to leads or customers. Great for sales, reminders, and follow-ups.
Outbound Campaign Setup → Use this if you need to call many people at once. Upload a CSV of leads, and Pod will automatically run the campaign.
Phone Number Overview → Understand how numbers are assigned to agents and how they work in Pod.
Twilio Phone Number Setup → Step-by-step for connecting Twilio numbers.
Telnyx Phone Number Setup → Step-by-step for connecting Telnyx numbers.
Knowledge Base Setup → Upload FAQs, PDFs, docs, or connect your public website so your agent always has answers.
Language Support → Expand your reach by making your agent multilingual. Train it to handle Spanish, French, or other languages alongside English.
Connect Apps → Learn how to integrate Pod with your favorite tools like CRMs, calendars, and ticketing systems.
Zapier Setup → Trigger workflows whenever an inbound call comes in (e.g., create a new ticket in Zendesk).
Call Transfer Setup → Let your agent route calls to the right person on your team if human assistance is needed.
Monitor Call History → Review transcripts and recordings to understand customer conversations and improve prompts.
Invite Team Members → Add teammates to your Pod workspace so they can help manage agents and calls.
Test Agent → Use the Playground to simulate calls and make adjustments before going live.
